What legacy did it leave? Some of its legacy is stylistic – the caricature of the disco dude in the wide lapelled white suit. By 1977, there had been scores of disco hits, but Saturday Night Fever was where it moved from being popular to absolutely unavoidable. What moment did it capture? Disco, in all its pomp. It has been added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress for its cultural significance. The seventh best selling album of all time (The Bodyguard soundtrack has sold more, but it doesn’t capture any sort of moment in the same way), with an estimated 40m copies shifted. And so we said yes to it and we forgot about it.” Saturday Night Fever “And so there was an indie film being made, the guy who was going to direct it was in a comedy on TV, which wasn’t very well known at the time.

And we had said yes to a couple of things already – small films, you know, it was just kinda let them use it, maybe we’ll get a free video out of it,” James Mercer told me in 2013. “I got a call from Stuart, my A&R person at Sub Pop, and the idea was that there was this indie film that was going to be made. “It’ll change your life, I swear.” The song was New Slang by the Shins, and it launched them as a significant band – not that they realised it when they let the song be used. What legacy did it leave? “You gotta hear this one song,” Natalie Portman’s character said to Braff’s. What moment did it capture? Whey-faced American indie at its moment of apotheosis, the very point at which the words “Pitchfork approved” could convince young people with backpacks and crumpled shirts to buy any old tat – bin liners, cat litter, slippers with headlights, even Clap Your Hands Say Yeah albums. How popular? A platinum seller in the US, which also earned the film’s director and star, Zach Braff – who put the soundtrack together as “a mix CD with all of the music that I felt was scoring my life” – a Grammy for best compilation soundtrack album. And though 50s-set teen films would pop up occasionally for years afterwards, it was hard to see the influence of the American Graffiti soundtrack in any of the periodic revivals of rock’n’roll on either side of the Atlantic. American Graffiti inspired Happy Days, and was part of the same wave of nostalgia that also gave the world the stage musical Grease. What legacy did it leave? Not a lot, really. No protests songs here, just Love Potion No 9 and Get a Job and Green Onions and All Summer Long and the like. The soundtrack – 41 hits from 1954 to 1964 – was that innocence captured in song.

Goerge Lucas’s movie is the tale of one night in the lives of a group of Californian kids at the end of summer 1962. What moment did it capture? US nostalgia for pre-Vietnam innocence. How popular? Another Top 10 US album, which went triple platinum, giving rise to two sequel albums of oldies. NUXX in front of a mass audience, it gave groups of city centre drunks the opportunity to shout “Lagerlagerlagerlager!” for years afterwards.

What legacy did it leave? Britpop itself faded away fairly briskly, a victim of its own success, and Trainspotting – both film and soundtrack – became very much a period piece. This was bright, confident unabashedly British music at its zenith, before it became all Northern Uproar and Shed Seven.

The first volume stuck Britpop favourites (Sleeper, Blur, Elastica, Pulp) alongside stars of the UK dance scene (Leftfield, Underworld) and some venerated legends (Iggy, Brian Eno, New Order, Lou Reed). What moment did it capture? Cool Britannia. Popular enough that its two volumes gave Iggy Pop his second- and third-biggest hit singles (The Passenger reached No 22 and Lust for Life peaked at No 26). How popular? Popular enough that it spawned a second volume from the same film, popular enough that it has spent 268 weeks on the UK soundtracks chart (No 15 this week).
